Sorry for bothering you guys again ^^
Finally I found some informations about updating HBOOT one my HOX, but I don't want to ruin it, so i wanted to ask you if I understood everything^^
My acutal HBOOT is 1.12, my main-version (dunno what exactly it is called) is 2.17.771.3 and my CID is H3G__106 (Hutchison 3, Austria).
Currently I am on ICJ 1.72.
I've found the following threads:
H3G BRANDED JB | Manual Update, Nand, OTA File, Firmware.zip [4/2]
[TUT] How to upgrade HOX with a RUU(hboot.img, etc..) after installed a custom rom
[COLLECTION]Stock Nandroid Backups for Different CIDs
Unfortunately I'm not sure which firmware.zip, etc. I have to use to update my HBOOT on 1.39(?, I think it's the actual version) to use ICJ 2.1.
I would be pleased if you can help me and tell me what to do and which firmware.zip, etc. I should use.
cheers,

Well i would go with the nandroid backup (the one with from the last link) get your nandroid backup from there matching your MAIN number .... 2.17.771
You unzip the nandroid backup to the phone (read the OP to where exactly) then you flash the boot.img from that nandroid (located in the folder) and perform a full wipe in the custom recovery and restore the nandroid, boot it once to check the phone runs as new...all Oke, flash back the stock 2.17 recovery and reboot the phone and check for software updates.
And as for the firmware flash, the thread could not have typed it out better.....you need the part that says NAND H3G__106......
All the commands are in there and the links too

Well, thanks! I'll try it in the evening.
A last question: After doing the nandroid backup and firmware flash my HBOOT will be 1.39, am I correct?
Yes you are going to hboot 1.39.
But keep one thing in mind, only do one of the options. If you go for the nandroid backup you do not have to do the firmware flash......when you restore the nandroid backup completely including the boot.img and stock recovery you check in settings - about - softwareupdates for the official OTA and install that. The OTA will flash the hboot automatically and will update the software to JB :thumbup:

Well, it came to my mind that I only have the phone with the Hutchison 3 branding, but it is unlocked and I have another provider. Does this conflict with the option to do the nandroid backup and checking for software updates?
And if not, I think I have to unlock the phone again and do that stuff to flash a custom rom?
Ai i can't answer your first question, never encountered that before .... as for the second question, with a nandroid backup you do not have to relock the bootloader. So after the updating process you flash back the custom recovery and flash a new JB rom.

Well, okay. So I will just test it, and if I don't get any updates I can switch back to my old version of ICJ am I right?
Yes ofcourse .... do a nandroid of the rom you are running now and after that you restore the stock nandroid backup.
Don't forget to flash the boot.img again when you return to the old one
Well,
I tried the nandroid backup from this thread but I only get some md5 checksum errors...
Then I tried it twice with the backup from here but here I get sometimes a black screen (display is ON) after the htc logo and sometimes it goes past the black screen and comes to the screen where you see "HTC ONE BEATS AUDIO" and there it gets stuck.
I also did a full wipe every time before doing the backup and I also flashed the boot.img from the backup
Any ideas? :/
cheers,
z3xi0n ;D
I got simillar effect while trying to restore backup from that thread
And im actually in a boot loop for allmost two weeks, so i'll stick around for some usefull ideas
When you read the OP of the first thread there is a workaround for the MD5 error

Uh, my bad I'll try it again in the evening ^^ Thanks for helping a poor noob
status update ^^
Used the backup from here, searched for OTA update (got one), tried to install it. Phone switched into recovery and I got some errors. Looked it up in google, found this site and removed this part
Code:
assert(check_cid(getprop("ro.cid"), "00000000" , "11111111" , "22222222" , "33333333" , "44444444"
, "55555555" , "66666666" , "77777777" , "88888888" , "99999999" , "HTC_……);
After this I was able to install the update (in recovery, using "install zip from sdcard"). After the update the phone reboots and gets stuck on the HTC logo. Hboot is still on 1.12. Now I used my old backup cause I need the phone tomorrow again. Any ideas how to get the update fully working? :/
cheers ^^
Then i guess the update fails because you need a backup matching your cid too !
Because the nandroid backup was for another cid (O2 and orange backups where compatible with different cids)
You can try to only perform the firmware flash to update the hboot and then flash a JB custom rom after that.
Mh, okay. Then I'll try it with a firmware update. But I am a little bit confused because when I deleted the part with assert(check_cid(...)) etc. I saw my CID, H3G__106, in this part.

Hmm okey, well i can't shine a light on that im afraid, but if the nandroid fails (who said that the nandroid is 100% stock anyway, we believe the uploader on that ) your best chance is with the direct firmware flash
Am I right that I have to do it with this manual? And do I have to install at first this stock backup or can I flash the firmware directly on my acutal ROM?
1) go into fastboot and enter "fastboot oem lock" - the device will reboot
2) go into fastboot again and enter "fastboot oem rebootRUU" - there will be a black screen with a silverish HTC logo
3) enter "fastboot flash zip firmware.zip" (you need the firmware.zip from page 1 for this)
3a) enter the same again, the green bar under the logo should go to 100% (either after the first or second time)
4) enter "fastboot reboot-bootloader" to go back to your fastboot
5) unlock your device again with the unlock code ("fastboot flash unlocktoken Unlock_code.bin")
6) Restore your old boot.img (fastboot flash boot name_of_boot_file.img) and recovery (fastboot flash recovery name_of_recovery_file.img), make sure you copied them from the nandroid backup folder we created earlier into the folder that contains the fastboot.exe you're using.
(7) Reboot and you should now have Hboot 1.39 with your old boot and recovery.
(8) If it won't work we still have the backup ready to restore the old system, Hboot isn't changeable right now on S-ON devices outside of the RUU routine - so even if you restore your nandroid you should still have Hboot 1.39 now)

Yes thats correct. No neef to flash the stock recovery. Directly the firmware is enough. But reflash the rom with boot.img right after that....
---------- Post added at 12:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------
Any succes ?
Well, now I did the firmware flash, put ICJ 2.1 on the phone and it works, but the phone doesn't get my sim card. Any ideas? ^^
Uhm well......does that rom needs a modified boot.img for the higher hboots maybe ? Just like the CM10. I would try it first with a full sense JB rom to make sure that everything works as it should, or try CM10.1 ?
Did you checked that the hboot is actually upgraded ?
Or could this have something to do that you unlocked it from the carrier ?

Hi all,
I was on stock 1.26 then unlocked rooted and installed CWM.
I made a backup with cwm, and then installed CM9. I'm going to return my One X and want to restore the backup. My question now is, do I need and boot.img first before I can restore my backup? During the backup process CWM said 'backing up boot image..' So will it restore it as well?
Thanks in advance....

No just restore your backup, flash stock recovery and then re-lock bootloader.
Help (if anyone can)
Hi, noob here (registration wise) been lurking for a year of so now.
First up I want to say I am not totally new to everything, I have rooted, flashed all sorts of roms etc on other models but my issue is with returning to stock on an HTC One X. I am hoping either someone can help me or at least tell me no one can at the moment.
I have done a number of searches and tried various things none of which have worked I am currently romless (no os installed when checked last on twrp) however since then I have also tried flashing a rom.zip so no longer have twrp at the moment but hopefully can still install it as I can get into fastboot.
My device is on Voda UK so currently it doesnt have an ruu that I can find the only thing I found was this a 3.14.161.27 rom zip which I tried flashing but while it flashed it just stays on the htc screen (it seems quite small and didnt have a system image in so wasnt sure if it was even complete)
My question is can I do anything with a nandroid backup if I can find one to get a uk stock even if its not Vodafone (or does it have to be Voda) if so can anyone point me to a dl? if not can anyone suggest anything to try or am I going to have to try and flash a custom rom again and not be on stock until a ruu is made if one is.
Thanks in advance for any guidance

Hi,
Version-main is 3.14.161.27 (that zip i tried earlier was meant to be the latest files) cid is vodap001
Oke so the zip is a nandroid backup ? Of so, you need to unpack it !
Check here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975140
It has your nandroid backup, in the OP you also get a description where to put it on the sdcard !
With the recovery i sent you, you can mount the sdcard as a mass storage device and copy it over

so does it not matter that the version number of a nandroid backup is lower than my version main? (sorry for the question this nandroid backups are the one part of this side of thing I am not familiar with)
No that's not the issue, but the thread has your exact main version nandroid !

ok thanks I just looked at the initial post and saw vodap001 was lower than my version (hence why my question) but then searched the thread and saw the vodap102 can be used on mine and that is the same version.
Yes it should be compatible......but you can also restore a lower matching version and restore the stock recovery afterwards and update to JB again !
If you want to be 100% sure it works , go for option 2 .... Restore the lower one and update again

This phone is proving to be a nightmare to return to stock. I have the correct RUU, extracted the rom.zip from it, flashed boot_signed.img & recovery_signed.img and the relocked. I left the phone in hboot like in the video and ran the RUU and it just says error 120, the battery is too low but the battery is at 96%. CID is HTC__621, getvar version-main says 1.29.751.12 and the RUU is called 'RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Chunghwa_1.29.751.12_Radio_1.1204.107.14_release_261363_signed'. Does anyone have any insight? Thanks.
Unlock the bootloader and flash a custom recovery ......do a full wipe, also batt stats ! Then relock the bootloader and keep the phone in fastboot usb mode , then run the ruu with admin rights ! Right click the ruu and select it
I've mentioned this before and believe it or not it's worked for at least one other person, no idea why, but it works:
unplug your phone and plug it in to a different USB port on your computer, preferably one in the back (those hard to reach ones, 'cause nothing is easy about going back to stock).
I've tried both suggestions and it still says the battery is lower than 30% even though its above 85%. I tried all three USB ports on my laptop. I've even tried 4 different USB cables, a black HTC one, a white HTC one, my Nexus 7 one and one I got from a dollar store. Never have I wanted to destroy a phone as much as I do now..
Faulty battery .... Nothing i can do about that. Sorry
What if you do
Fastboot getvar all
It gives also the batt stat

Battery Status says good and it says 4080mV.
This sounds stupid.... But.....did you reboot the pc once and then check again. And check if there is a 2.17 ruu available for you and run that one
I didn't. Let me try that.
Same results and its now at 88%. Better Battery Stats reports good battery health as well. Ultimately I just want to tryout the JB Sense ROMS. My CID is HTC__621 so I tried to flash the firmware for my CID but I get a failure message upon that too.
You have a working rom on it ? We can do this without a ruu. Do you have a nandroid backup of the stock rom ? Otherwise we have to check in the nandroid backup thread from Matt95 in the general section. And restore that one

I don't have a Nandroid back up, I bought the phone used already with a custom ROM on it. I've been using ICJ AOKP since I got it but I wanna give the Sense ROMs a test run. Do you have a link to that thread?
Found the thread. There's a JB Nandroid for my CID (HTC__621) but it says I have to have the latest Hboot installed but the firmware won't flash.
Check the rom threads for a rom you would like, only ICS sense roms work on your hboot. Look around and pick one out ....
Download it and put it on the sdcard, copy out the boot.img and place it in your fastboot flash folder.
Put the phone in fastboot usb mode and flash the boot.img
Fastboot flash boot boot.img
Then enter the recovery and do a FULL wipe then install the rom.zip
I can check tonight if there is a way to get you to stock so you can update to JB. I'm off now .... @ work
I was just running InsertCoin 9.7.0 but I miss the JB features. I restored a Nandroid to ICJ for now. I tried to flash the firmware again and it gave me an error again and I've attached a screenshot of it.
OK, I managed to get it to start flashing the firmware.zip but it said something about flushing the image first. Screenshot attached.
What is that firmware.zip ? if you want to restore the nandroid you have to flash the boot.img that is inside the nandroid backup folder. No need to flash firmwares to restore a nandroid !
Edit : a the firmware to upgrade to a JB hboot, I'm a bit distract here
Did u locked the bootloader before running the upgrade commands ?
I didn't lock the bootloader first. That did it. Thank you so much for all your help.
And now you can also return to stock because there is also a stock nandroid available for you ! :thumbup:
CASE CLOSED
Flashed the firmware, flashed the boot in the Nandroid for my CID and restored the Nandroid and it works like a charm. Flashed the stock recovery, relocked the bootloader and got update 3.14.709.20. Now I'm making a Nandroid of it. Thanks again for all your help, Mr Hofs.
Hi guys.
Finally today I receive the OTA upgrade to JB. First an smal upgrade was succesfully downloaded and installed, and then the firmware to upgrade the phone to JB (I had 4.03 custom rom).
After the phone install the JB upgrade the phone stuck on the HTC ONE white screen
I had a backup on the SD that let me recover the phone, I try to install the upgrade again, with the same luck. I read a post that said that erasing the SD will resolve the issue, and I have no better idea than do it!!! (yeah... really!!)
I read several post all day on XDA, I try to flash again the boot and ROM with the upgrade that I save on my PC, and with a Backup via
fastboot. But nothing work (I dont know if I did it right). I cant see the SD on fastboot, already try a factory reset, when I go to the recovery option on fastboot the phone just rebooted with no options.
My CID is BSTAR301

Sorry, I mean I had the ORIGINAL ROM (4.03), the only change that I made was root the phone.
My CID is BSTAR301, I only have the backup files that I copy to my pc and the OTA upgrade that the phone download. I attach the images of the files that I have.
Could you please tell me how to restore it to complete stock with the commands? which files should I use?

I assume that you first installed CWM or TWRP recovery to root your HOX, and if you make backup of your recovery this is CWM or TWRP recovery.img, not stock recovery.img that is came with phone because you reflashed original one with TWRP or CWM and official ROM need official recovery.img. I hope that you make nandroid backup before root with TWRP or CWM because is it "must to do" in every installation guide. If so, when you wanted to update via OTA for official JB you needed to:
1. reverse to stock software (for you, you needed only to unroot or use nandroid backup if you have yours, if not try to find one in xda one x forum matching your current CID and main-version)
2. reverse to stock recovery.img that is matching your CID (exact matching) (you need to find it on xda one x forum section) - i see that you have firmware folder but dont know is it from your backup or from OTA, if it is from OTA than you can use recovery.img from that folder to flash stock recovery.img via fastboot commands (only recovery.img)
3. then you can do official JB update via OTA
And then if you have need to custom ROM you need flash again CWM or TWRP recovery.img
Also you can get full stock with RUU but RUU must fully match your CID and main version, but RUU isn't available for every phone version, and after RUU you can do officall OTA JB update (for RUU you need to lock bootloader)
Information that can help us is yours phone current main version (fastboot getvar version-main)

THANKS HOFS!!!
After installing the stock recovery 2.17, JB was installed successfully.
You have no idea how much appreciate your help!
Thank you!!!!
Hello guys, I'm in big trouble i will try to be as clear as possible, first i had a good working htc one x running official htc 4.2.2 no root nothing just the latest official OTA, after a while i got bored and decided to root it and install CM10.2 i had much trouble while rooting but at the end it was succesful and i managed to install cm10.2 from recovery mode, after that was finnished it kept hanging in bootloop, after several manual restarts i managed to get to get past the bootloop to the main screen, after spending a few weeks on cm10.2 i didnt like it and wanted to get my device back to stock so i can sell it but here is the trouble: i searched on youtube and found the video: Unbrick / Unroot the HTC One X: Back to Stock - Cursed4Eva
I followd every step correctly, and downloaded what i thought would be a compatible ruu but at the end of installation the RUU gave me the message that it must abbort the update because i have a different version or something, and honestly i just cant seem to figure out which ruu is the correct one for my device.
here is some info about my device and i hope you guys can help me out:
version-main: 4.18.401.4
There is no ruu ! Get a nand backup from the collection in the GENERAL section
I'm sorry could you be more specific? Why is there no RUU? And how can I install a nandroid back up? I can't even flash custom recovery on it. I don't care if there is no android 4.2.2 RUU for it, I'll take jellybean RUU or ICS RUU as long as it's compatible with my HOX.
Sent from my HTC Desire 500 using XDA Free mobile app
As i said there is just no ruu ! In the general section is a collection of backups, have a read there. All info is there, i won't type something here that is already written down.
You can't install a different ruu when you have a s-on device. Only s-off can do that but s-off is NOT available for the HOX (unless you find a shop that offers the service) so it's a nandroid backup or a custom rom. Downgrade is not an option.

any idea how to do that? because basicly i have deleted everything on my HOX and installed the original recovery and relocked the bootloader so now when i turn on the device it goes straight to bootloader, what should i do now?
Unlock the bootloader. Flash philz touch 5.15.9 recovery. Mount the sdcard inside the recovery. Unpack and place the nandroid backup in the correct folder (check the collection thread for info) flash the boot.img from the nandroid backup via fastboot. Perform a full wipe in the recovery and restore the nandroid backup.

Alright after a few hours I managed to finally get the device working I unlocked the bootloader, flashed the recovery, and flashed CM11 (I lost hope trying to find the right Nandroid backup) and everything works correctly like a charm.
Sent from my HTC Desire 500 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi all,
I'm sending my phone back to HTC becuase since day one it's been presenting issues (loose screen, the volume button is saggy and ultimatly what made me send it back, the camera seems to be having issues, I get the "you are blocking the secondary camera" message, when I'm not, and the camera can't focus correctly making the pictures extreamly blurry.
anyways, I'm getting the phone ready to sent it back, I flashed 1.54.401.5 firmware and went back to my old nandroid backup which was in 4.4.2, I flashed the stock recovery 1.12.1540.17 and the CID to the original one BS_US002.
I did a factory reset in the stock recovery and set up the phone, however I'm not getting the OTA for 4.4.3 and I have no idea what I'm missing...
any help would be highly appreciated.
ps: I used this as reference.

I think it's kinda strange to flash the 1.12.1540 stock recovery on a 1.54.401 firmware ?! Weird huh....because they don't match.....but......that has nothing to do wether you get update notifications ! You should get them wether they can be installed or not. But the combo recovery + nand will not work to official install of the ota

thank you so much for your reply, I flashed the matching recovery, but still the update is not showing up, do you have any suggestions?
I'm downloading the stock nandroid listed in your nandroid backup thread for BS_US002 just to double check...
I think you need a different firmware. If you have the dev edition model that is originally on .1540 you can't do it via a 401 firmware.
My dev edition doesn't get 4.4.3 update either. All stock except unlocked s-off
Here a workaround for the ones interested:
1- Make sure MID and CID match, for the developer edition you have it should be:
MID: 0P6B12000
CID: BS_US002
If they match then you can download a stock nandroid and the firmware here.
2- Wipe evertying using TWRP and then restore the nand you´ve downloaded from the link above
3- Reboot your phone into booloader and then flash the firmware
4- I would advise you to clean the cache once you install the firmware in bootloader
5- Do a full factory restore from the bootloader, your phone should reboot by itself afterwards
In case you need it:
In order to flash the firmware you have to type Fastboot oem rebootRUU in bootloader mode then you will see an HTC grey logo, there you will have to type: fastboot flash zip firmware.zip. Make sure firmware you've have downloaded is renamed as "firmware.zip" before you do all this. I would recomend to perform this last command twice. To reboot your phone into bootloader type: fastboot reboot-bootloader, once your phone reboots then type Fastboot erase cache, perform a full factory restore there and let your phone reboot. After your phone reboots, you should have the latest version installed.
As and advise: be carefull with all this!

I flash any recovery to get dev ota and they all work
Or even simpler, as I did, apply the OTA through stock recovery.
